Looking like the classic student dropout, he hangs listlessly around street corners, sometimes in a marijuana haze, or drifts from one low-level job to another. Sometimes he plays at war; in Los Angeles vets often gather at the burned-out remains of an amusement park at Venice pier to stage mock battles, often using shields fashioned from turtle shells.
